My basic rules are to have shirt cuffs extended half an inch from the jacket sleeve. Trousers should break just above the shoe. Try not to sit down because it wrinkles the pants. If you have to sit, don`t cross your legs. Pocket handkerchiefs are optional, but I always wear one, usually orange, since orange is my favorite color.

Many of them. Particulary the ones that have a mythological background.
Lord Voldemort
Yep, I have never heard of him.
Tom Marvolo Riddle = I Am Lord Voldemort = Immortal Odd Lover
You do not know who -He who must not be named- is?
That is because I have never read those books.
I can't believe you don't know who he is
Voldemort? Sounds like a French cheese.
Yes, post #3 is doing a rootapproximant using a PSLQ.
Okay but is it related to root approximant?
It uses something called Lattice Reduction. Exactly how this works I can not explain. In more general terms it is a way to intelligently guess, with a high probability at what constants make up a decimal.
How does this work?
It is an extension of the extended GCD. Where the extended GCD solves ax + by = c, the PSLQ solves
and it solves it in such a way that the are integers. It was called the most important algorithm of the 20th century.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Cloudy Bay is the quintessential New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Zesty lime and grapefruit aromas are the first to emerge from the nose, followed by nectarine and lemongrass tones.

- Recognizing and responding to an alcohol-related emergency
- Blood alcohol concentration and low-risk drinking strategies
Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions:

Q. What about students who do not have easy access to computers at home or in their community?
A. We ask that you consider all the possibilities for accessing a computer. A friend or family member may be willing to let you use their computer for this purpose. Also, many local libraries have computers available with internet access.
If it is truly impossible to access a computer with necessary technical capabilities, you may receive an extension to complete the course on an Ithaca College computer. Please email Nancy Reynolds in the Center for Health Promotion at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Q. Why is Ithaca College requiring an alcohol course? Is there a drinking problem here?

Q. What does the evaluation research say about the impact of online alcohol courses?
A. Research conducted on online alcohol courses has shown encouraging results for college retention rates, GPA's, and decreased alcohol consumption and related harm among college students. Most IC students report that they learned useful information from the course and that they would recommend it to a friend.

Jam On at Office 2.0 PodCast Jam!
But it's not too late to
For many of the participants, this is their first experience with podcasting, and I can tell you, it's pretty straight forward. It's even easier if you have someone you think is interesting and set up an interview with them! (or get them to interview you, or interview each other!). I'll be doing some of that during the week using Skype (still investigating the best 'recording' option – anyone got recommendations)
One of the GREAT things about PodCastJam is that it allows all those voices who are usually absent from a conference like the Office 2.0 Conference to participate in the conversation. I'm particularly hoping to hear more women speak, more people talk from a design and user/customer experience perspective, and more people based in places other than the US.
So if any or all of those sound like you – let me encourage you to give it a go! Just a short 5-10 minute piece on whatever you think is interesting (you can really only cover one topic well in that time I reckon), and send it off for everyone to consider and talk about.
It'll be great fun, so get involved! :)

Content marketing is not just a growing trend — it's a growing necessity to succeed in today's marketplace. With over 70 percent of marketers increasing their budget on content this year, it's imperative that they understand content marketing best practices before diving in too quickly. The following infographic includes tips & tactics from 14 experts taken from recent content marketing events; intended to help you adjust your current content strategy to add value, drive engagement and increase leads.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Curata shares advice from 14 content marketing heavyweights.
In the words of Aldous Huxley: "There is only one corner of the universe that you are certain of improving and that is your own self." Wearables are THE tool for self-improvement....
...During this early experimentation in the wearable space (so early the word itself hadn't yet been coined), we experienced first-hand the challenge of creating a compelling wearable that turns analog, human-derived signals into meaningful digital data — a deeply intricate exercise, which, turns out, requires a lot more than mere conviction.
That prototype never made it to market.
We have since then continued to chip away at our ignorance. Fast-forward six years — two and a half years after founding OMsignal, with a small but multidisciplinary team of medical and bio-engineering scientists, hardware and software engineers, product design specialists as well as smart-textile engineers and fashion artisans — we now know a great deal more about what it takes to develop the science, technology, and user experience required for a fully integrated consumer wearable product..

Do you want more people to visit your site and consume the content for longer? Stop distracting them and making them click away from your main goal. Simplicity is not only beautiful and elegant but it is also effective. It helps you tweak and perfect the user experience.

If you're going to launch a "War on Fox News" -- and decide to appear on the Fox News Channel anyway -- you should have been prepared better than this.
...The first lesson is this, as stated by Political Wire's Taegan Goddard: "Pro tip: If you're running for Congress and pledging a "war on Fox News" then it's probably best not to appear on Fox News."
But I only agree with that partially. Appearing on Fox News while pledging a war on the network could have turned this local Democratic candidate into a popular national Democratic hero—if he was a skilled debater who could have held his own against an experienced host....

Brad Phillips shares a devastating media training lesson - be prepared! Of course this political hack didn't have it together anyhow. this is one of those video clips that is a must-see!
Let's talk about You Tube for content marketing purposes. As much as I dislike video I still do it, and there are some people that say You Tube is the new TV… heck I even have a weekly social media hangout, so I totally get why you need to be video marketing.
In case you're not aware… YouTube is owned by Google and videos appear high in search results. So if you're struggling to get on the front page of Google for a competitive phrase then video will help.
YouTube is better than TV because it's free and user-driven. This is an extremely valuable tool for spreading brand awareness online. Next to blogging, You Tube has a low cost to entry in some instances (like blogging), all you need is a web cam, a script and a You Tube Channel....

Why wouldn't you want to use video to get better social marketing results?

... What I'm starting to see happen is that less trafficked publishers are trying to play catch up by increasing traffic. But, higher trafficked publishers are trying to figure out how to replace lost display ad revenue. In the end, most of the publishers I speak with are just plain scratching their heads. Here are four things publishers of all sizes should do to increase their revenue and their advertisers revenue....

Here's some marketing-related big data for you: 83 useful facts, stats, and research findings covering strategy, social media, SEO, online advertising and more.
"Big data" is one of the trendiest buzzwordy terms in marketing/ technology/ business today.
So before it gets replaced by the next trendy buzzwordy term, here's some marketing-related big data for you: 83 valuable facts, stats, and research findings covering strategy, social media, SEO, online advertising, email marketing, content, blogging, social networking, video and more.
What do 40% of B2B buyers say about LinkedIn, that only 19% say about Twitter? Which "social" brands aren't really social at all? What do only 48% of searches result in? What do 91% of B2B marketers do, but only 36% do well? (No, not that.) What do 73% of reporters say press releases should contain?...

Most search engine-optimization (SEO) practitioners (71%) say understanding the link between social sharing and search rankings is more important in 2014 than it was last year, according to a recent report from BrightEdge.
Measuring rank in Google Universal Search results (those that include photos, videos, etc.) is also seen as increasingly necessary by SEO professionals (57% say it is more important in 2014), as is measuring presence and rank in Google Carousel results (72% view as more important).
Less than half (46%) of respondents say finding anomalies in keyword rank is more important this year than last, perhaps reflecting the search engines' changing emphasis on keywords as a ranking factor....

2013 was a year of exploration for brands on social media. From testing Vines to launching Instagram ads, many companies were dabbling in social media efforts across the Web just to see how customers would react. Now, in 2014, brands are geting serious. They're using the wealth of data as well as the human connection that social media can provide to develop deeper relationships with customers.
Here are seven ways brands are using social media to increase customer loyalty this year....

"Brands must become publishers!" is the rallying cry of the content marketing revolution. More and more marketing departments are joining in the movement and are creating content focused on their customers' interests instead of their own products. They are finding, of course, that this is a much better way to attract prospects and move them toward becoming new customers.
But as brands make this transformation, they get stuck in the many operational challenges of being a publisher. That's where Kapost comes in: Our software platform manages the content marketing operation from end to end.
I spend most of my time talking to marketers and learning about their challenges in being publishers. Below, I've compiled the Top 10 Problems Marketers Face in Building Their Content Operations, as well as the solutions that Kapost offers to these problems....

Note to self: Never mention a celebrity on Twitter from a company account. Recently, it hasn't worked out well for two different brands.
A few weeks ago, people were in an uproar over Red Sox slugger Big Papi's selfie with the President. Then, last week, Katherine Heigl issued a lawsuit to Duane Reade for posting a paparazzi photo of her on their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Here's what they posted on Twitter (Facebook's post was almost identical)...
Jeff Domansky's insight:
A very valuable reputation management, marketing and social media lesson in this seemingly innocent marketing ploy. The lawsuit bears close watching.
Hill+Knowltons Group SJR doesnt make branded content. It makes publications that you might not even realize come from company marketing budgets.
Thanks to the Internet, anyone can now be a publisher.
Which is kind of like saying that anyone in a crowded football stadium could stand and deliver an eloquent speech. The hard part is not making noise. The hard part is getting people to listen. So by most aspiring publications' definitions of success, a technology blog called the Txchnologist has made it. Last year, its articles were picked up about 200 times, including in Time, Smithsonian magazine, and on MSN News.
You may have seen its coverage of temporary tattoos that could make electric telekinesis possible. Or eyewear that could help people with red-green color blindness.
But what you may not have noticed, unless you read all the way to the bottom of an article or navigated to the blog's homepage, is that the entire production comes out of GE's marketing budget. It's been created by a branch of PR firm Hill+Knowlton called Group SJR....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Native advertising. Brand journalism. Content marketing. Call it what you will, it' a huge trend in marketing and media and the smart players using it to full marketing advantage.
Forget the funnel. Take that outmoded sales model and hide it in the back of the drawer. These days, marketing to consumers is a fundamentally different process. A recent webinar, Marketing Performance Accountability – evolving from campaign to customer-centric perspectives, sheds light on a new paradigm that forward thinking marketers are adopting.
Customers have changed, and are now far more in control. "It's very chaotic," said Cory Munchbach, an analyst at Forrester Research. "Consumers have so much control over the information they consume. It's an intentional chaos."
The path from prospect to buyer has morphed into a nonlinear process. Customers are outrunning traditional marketing campaigns, according to Munchbach. "Their needs arise without being prompted by traditional campaigns."...

FRANK FEATHER ~ Business Futurist's curator insight, April 14, 12:30 PM
Consumers are far out in front of marketers. Consumers know what they want and why, well before marketers have any clue about it. Why? Because marketers haven't yet learned how to determine a customer's unarticulated needs.
Use and apply videos to improve your existing marketing campaigns to build a conversation with your customers
Websites and marketing campaigns often rely on text and graphics; however, relying on too much of any one ingredient is a recipe for disaster. While graphics convey information succinctly, and text explains and elaborates, adding video to the mix is a way to reach customers who absorb information visually and tune out when they see too much text.
According to Insivia, on average, viewers retain 95 percent of information if they watch it it, but only 10 percent of the when they read it.
If a customer doesn't hear or understand your message, your chances of converting them are slim. For many companies, conversion rates increased after adding videos to their campaigns. PowToon found start-ups and small businesses that used videos saw a conversion rate increase an average of 40 percent. Additionally, start-ups saw email sign-ups increase 67 percent....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Video has big marketing value and this post sheds more light on why.
If you are over the age of 35, you probably remember when the most innovative thing you could do on the web was interact in an AOL chat room. And you thought you were so cool doing it, too.
...Do you want to create an engaging and interactive digital experiences for users on your website? Say it with me. THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT!
In a recent article by Pratik Dholakiya on Search Engine Watch, he says,"As humans, we remember and care about experiences far more than things, or content. We will always remember and treasure a vacation more than, say, a movie (unless it's "Star Wars"). The marketers of the future need to create interactions.

USA Today writes up the new USA Today/Gallup poll: "Clinton is backed by 45% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, up 6 percentage points from a poll taken two weeks earlier that showed her standing eroding… Obama is at 27%, up 3 points, and former North Carolina senator John Edwards is third at 15%."
VIDEO: NBC's Political Director Chuck Todd offers his first read on who the latest polls show as being most capable of winning the presidency for their political party.
"In hypothetical matchups for the general presidential election, Clinton and Obama each led Giuliani, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Romney, although at times narrowly. Obama was somewhat stronger, besting Giuliani by 6 points, Huckabee by 11 and Romney by 18. Clinton had an edge of 1 point over Giuliani, 9 points over Huckabee and 6 points over Romney.
BIDEN: The Union Leader followed Biden around the state and profiled him. "Ask the average voter what he or she thinks of Biden, and you're likely to get one of two responses: 'Who's he?' or 'He'd make a great secretary of state.' The latter seems to irk Biden even more than the former. 'I'm not going to be secretary of state. Don't say that,' he pleaded with one voter at a recent campaign stop on the Seacoast. 'In no administration would I accept the position of secretary of state.'"
In a phone call yesterday, NBC's Ken Strickland notes, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman -- and presidential candidate -- Joe Biden told Pakistan President Musharraf to "return Pakistan to the democratic path" by lifting restrictions on the press, restoring an independent judiciary, and ensuring free and fair January elections.
CLINTON: The "personal touches" were on display for Clinton in Iowa yesterday, the Des Moines Register writes. "Clinton's staff believes there's little doubt among Iowans that the New York senator has the strength to lead. But proof that the former first lady turns off a significant number of Iowans is easily found in the most recent Iowa Poll. Clinton was seen as the most "negative" and "ego-driven" of all the Democratic candidates. And 30 percent of likely Democratic caucusgoers viewed her unfavorably."
The New York Daily News: "With her aura of inevitability shattered, and nothing to show for a spate of negative campaigning last week, Clinton's presidential campaign is now trying to melt voters' hearts."
Per NBC/NJ's Athena Jones, Hillary Clinton told an audience in eastern Iowa on Monday that anyone who had been on the national scene as long as she has is bound to end up with a lot of detractors and said any Democratic nominee would have "high negatives" very quickly. She was speaking in response to a question from a man who said he knew a lot of people who for some reason didn't like Clinton and asked how she could win over those voters.
"You know, there are people who would never vote for me. It breaks my heart, but that is true and that don't like me, although they've never met me. But you know, I've got to tell you that if you've been fighting for the causes you believe in and taking on tough special interests as long as I have, you're going to get beat up. And anybody who has done, or anybody who's been as a Democrat on the national scene as long as I have is going to end up with a lot of people who have been convinced that there is something that shouldn't be liked or approved… What I have found is that campaigning and talking about real issues and making your case to people actually does change opinions."
This isn't the first time in recent weeks, Jones notes, that Clinton has had to tackle such a question. Clinton also talked about the some in the media having their own reasons for criticizing her. "Now there are some people who will never agree with me. They're ideologically opposed to me; I'm far more progressive than they wish to be. They have commercial reasons. You know, we joke a lot about some of the folks, the talking heads on radio and TV, you know if the ratings dip a little bit, well, you know they've got a hard core that always responds to going after me, so they can make some money off of me." (Our question, though: At what point should Clinton stop talking about why she appears to be more polarizing than her foes? Does talking about it help or remind voters of the issue?)
Interestingly, Al Sharpton had to cancel his trip South Carolina yesterday and never did meet with Bill Clinton as planned. Instead, the two talked by phone. The New York Times: "The talk followed by just days The Philadelphia Inquirer's publishing an account of a conversation, secretly taped by the F.B.I., in which Mr. Sharpton appeared to promise a Philadelphia fund-raiser some help on a business deal in return for a five-figure contribution to the 2004 Sharpton campaign. Mr. Sharpton said in an interview Monday that there had been no quid pro quo involved, and pointed to his talk with Mr. Clinton as a sign of his innocence."
The change in strategy to focus on Clinton's softer side may seem contrived to some cynics, but the campaign is getting the press coverage it wanted. The LA Times' headline: "Supporters describe Clinton's softer side." Subhead: "A Web video, 'The Hillary I Know,' is part of a larger effort to lower the Democratic presidential candidate's unfavorable ratings."
The New York Daily News takes a look at the pressure Mark Penn is feeling right now, and gets Penn to say he's not worried about being tossed out in a shakeup.
Politico's Ben Smith, himself a veteran of covering the Clinton campaign team in its New York days, looks at that history and finds that Howard Wolfson has won out over Penn in this latest Clinton strategic message shift.
So was Bob Kerrey being Bob Kerrey with his compliment of Obama about his Muslim heritage or was there something more sinister behind his decision to call Obama by all three of his names? Clinton was asked about it yesterday. "In a meeting with the Quad-City Times editorial board, Clinton said Kerrey's use of Obama's full name was nothing more than part of a compliment. 'I think the remarks were very positive,' Clinton said. 'I know Bob. He was being very complimentary of Sen. Obama. He was making a point that Sen. Obama makes himself all the time, that because of his upbringing and his heritage he is, in his view, very well suited to communicate with the rest of the world. And he has just said himself that he wants to have a particular outreach to the Islamic world. So I think Sen. Kerrey was being, you know, very generous in what he said."
But then this? The Huffington Post: "Kerrey … said during a television appearance on Monday that her primary opponent, Sen, Barack Obama, attended a 'secular madrassa' as a child… 'I've watched the blogs try to say that you can't trust [Obama] because he spent a little bit of time in a secular madrassa,' the Nebraska Democrat said on the Situation Room with John King. 'I feel quite opposite. I think it's a tremendous strength whether he's in the United States Senate or whether he's in the White House.'"
EDWARDS: The candidate's apparent momentum in Iowa is starting to get more notice.
The man who is the coverboy of the Washington Post style section, David Yepsen, says not to rule out a surge by either Edwards or Thompson.
The Edwards campaign today has unveiled a faux movie trailer urging Iowa Democrats to caucus for him on January 3.
OBAMA: Obama is up with a new direct mail piece in New Hampshire that goes after Clinton for attacking his health-care plan and uses clips from reporters. The piece is done in such a way as to appear he's defending himself from Clinton's attacks. Is it negative or a response?
Obama begins airing in South Carolina the "Chances I Had" TV ad he's run in other states.
The New York Times' David Brooks takes a look at the two Dem front-runners, and suggests that Obama would make the better president. "If Clinton were running against Obama for Senate, it would be easy to choose between them. But they are running for president, and the presidency requires a different set of qualities. Presidents are buffeted by sycophancy, criticism and betrayal. They must improvise amid a thousand fluid crises. They're isolated and also exposed, puffed up on the outside and hollowed out within. With the presidency, character and self-knowledge matter more than even experience. There are reasons to think that, among Democrats, Obama is better prepared for this madness."
More: "What Bill Clinton said on 'The Charlie Rose Show' is right: picking Obama is a roll of the dice. Sometimes he seems more concerned with process than results. But for Democrats, there's a roll of the dice either way. The presidency is a bacterium. It finds the open wounds in the people who hold it. It infects them, and the resulting scandals infect the presidency and the country. The person with the fewest wounds usually does best in the White House, and is best for the country."
One group of folks where Obama's come up short, as the AP notes, is in union support.
The unnamed Barack Obama bus tour winds its way back to Des Moines today from Sioux City, NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan notes. There, Obama will hold a foreign policy forum in Des Moines before heading to New Hampshire. The campaign has visited 23 cities in 22 counties over the past six days, connecting with a few thousand voters. He ended the day with a rally in Sioux City at the Orpheum Theater, drawing a crowd of at least 800 people.
Aside from Obama jabbing Edwards yesterday, there was little "news" to report. Obama went from one small town hall to the next meeting with crowds of around two hundred or more people in four different cities, with the same message of hope, change and caucusing for him.
RICHARDSON: Per the campaign, the New Mexico governor will use the last several days until the Iowa caucuses to make Iraq the "centerpiece" of his closing argument. Indeed, "At a campaign stop in Mount Vernon …, Richardson said ending the war is the 'lynchpin for restoring the American dream,'" Radio Iowa reports. "Richardson criticized other candidates for starting to emphasize domestic issues and Richardson also criticized the news media for shifting focus away from the war."
The Des Moines Register adds, "Quickly ending the Iraq war is the key to repairing political damage caused by the conflict and restoring the American Dream, the New Mexico governor told about 200 people Monday at Cornell College. 'The day after I take the oath of office, and pledge to protect the Constitution of this country, I am going to tell our troops in Iraq: "You have served magnificently. Now you are coming home."'"

Just as important is where you plan to sleep at night.
In other words, he is no crash-test dummy.
"You don't want to stay east of the 405." he said. "Those guys that are staying over there, they have a ton of traffic getting back."
Merrick, wisely, is staying in Santa Monica.
"I got here in 10 minutes this morning," he said. "Yeah, I think Santa Monica is the way to go to stay here."
Keep on dancing
James Hahn was not planning on playing Riviera this week, but his tie for third at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am last week earned him a spot in the Northern Trust.
"Sixth straight golf tournament for me," Hahn said. "Usually don't do that."
Hahn followed his first round-67 with a shaky 74 on Friday, but his one-under 141 was good enough to make the cut.
There has been nothing ordinary about Hahn's rookie year.
He tied for fourth at the Humana Challenge, which included a final-round 62, and has already earned $690,796 in five tournaments. That's more than he made in 77 career starts on the Web.com Tour.
Hahn became YouTube famous, of course, for his "Gangnam-style dance" on the par-three 16th at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
The Jordan rules for golf
It might seem odd that Luke Donald and Michael Jordan ended up as friends. Donald grew up in England and Jordan is from North Carolina.
Donald, however, started his college career at Northwestern, north of Chicago, in 1997. And Jordan, as everyone knows, has always been fanatical about golf.
Donald and Jordan now live close to each other in Florida and Donald's wife is close with Jordan's fiancee.
Jordan, who just turned 50, is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time.
Donald was the No.1 golfer in the world, but now he has slipped to third behind Rory Mcllroy and Tiger Woods.
How many strokes does Donald give Jordan on the links?
"I usually give him six a side and that's usually not enough for him," Donald joked.
Matching up
Fredrik Jacobson, ranked No. 66 in the world, got into next week's Match Play event in Arizona after Brandt Snedeker withdrew this week because of a rib injury.
A top finish at Riviera might help Jacobson next week avoid Mcllroy or Woods.
"I haven't even thought about it," Jacobson said.
Maybe he will now?
Pack your bags
Notables missing the cut at two over included Graeme McDowell, Dustin Johnson, Charles Howell III (three over), Corey Pavin, Zach Johnson, Rory Sabbatini (four over) and Padraig Harrington and Bubba Watson (six over).

I am a native North Carolinian who is happy to be back in the Tar Heel state. I was born in Raleigh and I am a graduate of Broughton High School and N.C. State's Meteorology program. The Raleigh Tornado of 1988 and Hurricane Hugo in 1989 fueled my interest in weather when I was in high school.
After I graduated from N.C. State, I attended Mississippi State's graduate program in Broadcast Meteorology. During my ten year career as a Meteorologist I have had the chance to cover: blizzards, floods, tornadoes, and yes even some hurricanes. I have worked in: Rapid City, SD, Parkersburg, WV, Abilene, TX and most recently Lafayette, LA. I was a Chief Meteorologist in Parkersburg and Abilene. These wonderful opportunities have given me a wide range of experience in severe weather situations. In 1998 I was awarded the American Meteorological Society's Seal of Approval.
I have been married for seven years to my wonderful wife Elizabeth and we have a son named Winston and a daughter named Anna-Scott. We also have a dachshund mixed dog named Texas (You can probably guess where we got him). I love sports such as: golf, basketball, and tennis. I'm also a big fan of John Grisham books. I am very happy to be back in North Carolina to cheer my beloved N.C. State Wolfpack through thick and thin.
Currently I am serving as President of New Hanover County Citizen Corp. This organization is dedicated to preparing for and managing a wide range of possible emergency situations. I am also more than happy to share my weather knowledge and experience with your school or civic organization. Feel free to email me at email@example.com.

Donor Profile
Gus and Corinne "Corkey" Nordstrom
Active in business and as community volunteers, Gus and Corkey Nordstrom felt that the community had been good to them. In turn, they wanted to give something back and established a charitable trust to benefit the Humboldt State University Library. When the trust term ended, the remaining assets were placed in an endowment fund to benefit the Library.
The Nordstroms also included a generous bequest for the Library in their living trust, designated for the same purpose as the charitable trust-to purchase instructional materials, including media.
The main lobby of the Library was dedicated the Nordstrom Main Room in their honor in 1992. "Because Humboldt State University Library maintains resources for academic programs, the trust benefits all students attending the University," Corkey stated regarding their decision. "We always felt that education is critical to our future well-being. Gus and I took great pleasure in giving back to a community that has been so good to our family. I would encourage others to explore how they too can support educational programs."

Access Restricted
Lower Manhattan in Transition
In 2012, Access Restricted, LMCC's nomadic lecture series, will explore Lower Manhattan in Transition. Lower Manhattan is a rich and fascinating area where New York City's origins sit side by side with its imagined future. As planners, architects, city agencies and private entities create a vision for what the neighborhood will become over the next ten years, LMCC will bring artists into the conversation. In four programs taking place in spring throughout Lower Manhattan, artists, writers, and scholars will explore the relationship between the artistic imagination and the urban landscape, its history in Lower Manhattan, and its role in envisioning the future.
2012 Season Schedule
The Sacred and the Secular: Arts and Community at Trinity Wall Street
Listen to the lecture recorded by ARTonAIR here
Wednesday, March 21, 7PM
St. Paul's Chapel, Broadway at Fulton Street
Julian Wachner (Director of Music and Arts, Trinity Wall Street)
Du Yun (Composer)
George Steel (General Manager and Artistic Director, New York City Opera)
Moderated by: Lara Pellegrinelli (Music journalist, regular contributor to NPR and visiting lecturer at Princeton University)
Since 1697 Trinity Church has played a vital role in Lower Manhattan's civic, spiritual and cultural life. St. Paul's Chapel has been a venue for both liturgical and, more recently, secular music. This program will explore how the arts, particularly music, can bridge the sacred and the secular, creating a space for community to come together in both contexts.
On The Waterfront: Re-Imagining the East River Waterfront Esplanade
Listen to the lecture recorded by ARTonAIR here
Wednesday, March 28, 7PM
Two Bridges Community Room, 82 Rutgers Slip
Directions: From the F walk South on Rutgers Slip (towards the water/FDR) 2 blocks. 82 Rutgers will be on the right; it is a tan and orange striped brick building.
Julieanne Herskowitz (NYCEDC) and Jamie Chan (Senior Planner/Urban Designer, NYC Department of City Planning)
Cathy E. Jones and Dana Getman (SHoP Architects)
Dylan House (Program Manager, Hester Street Collaborative)
Victor J. Papa (President, Two Bridges Neighborhood Council)
Moderated by: Cassim Shepard (Editor, Urban Omnibus, The Architectural League of New York)
Until recently the East River waterfront remained largely underdeveloped. As redevelopment moves forward along the East River Esplanade, particularly at Pier 15, Rutgers Slip Pavilion, the malls at Pike and Allen, and the EcoPark at Pier 35, questions arise about long-term vision and community engagement. What changes will development bring and what role will culture play in shaping the future of this long-neglected area? This program will bring together representatives of the NYC Economic Development Corporation, the Hester Street Collaborative, and Two Bridges Neighborhood Council to discuss the history of and visions for the East River waterfront.
At the Intersection: Art, Money and Politics
This event is at capacity
Wednesday, April 11, 7PM
Léman Manhattan Preparatory School, 41 Broad Street
Discussion Panel:
Jan Cohen-Cruz (Professor; Director, Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life)
Randy Martin (Chair, Art and Public Policy at NYU)
Morgan Jenness (Creative Consultant, Abrams Artists Agency)
Rachel Chavkin (Artistic Director, The TEAM)
Moderated by: Amy Whitaker (Art Business Faculty, Sotheby's Institute; LMCC Writer in Residence; author, Museum Legs)
The intersection of Broad and Wall, where Federal Hall sits across from the New York Stock Exchange, serves as a physical representation of the proximity of money and politics throughout the history of Lower Manhattan. This discussion will explore the complicated and often fraught relationship between art, money and politics, the semiotics of dissent and how this is represented in the current moment.
From Radio Row to the Freedom Tower: Arts and the Evolution of Lower Manhattan
Listen to the lecture recorded by ARTonAIR here
Wednesday, April 18, 7PM
National September 11 Memorial & Museum Preview Site, 20 Vesey Street
Anita Contini (Arts and Culture Program, Bloomberg Philanthropies)
Linda Shelton (Executive Director, The Joyce Theater)
Eiko and Koma Otake (Artists)
Liz Thompson (Former Executive Director, LMCC; Founder, ArtfulAction Advisors/ArtfulAction Leadership Coaching)
Moderated By: Clifford Chanin (Director of Education and Programs, National September 11 Memorial & Museum)
Thank you for your interest in "Access Restricted: From Radio Row to the Freedom Tower: Arts and the Evolution of Lower Manhattan." This event is at capacity. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please refrain from phone calls.
With the construction—and now re-building—of the World Trade Center site, the past fifty years have seen the west side of Lower Manhattan transformed from a humble strip of electronics stores to iconic locus of world commerce to a mixed-use neighborhood still in development. Along the way, the arts have played a pivotal role in engaging the public with this transformation. From Creative Time's influential "Art On The Beach" programming on the Battery Park City landfill to the performances on the plaza of the World Trade Center, and the planned performing arts center in the newly developed site, the arts have brought audiences down to Lower Manhattan and informed the public perception and experience of the neighborhood. LMCC will host a discussion about the past, present, and future of creative engagement in this dynamic and ever-evolving area.
About Access Restricted:
Access Restricted is LMCC's free nomadic lecture series, now in its fifth season. The program, which has historically opened rarely visited and often prohibited spaces in Lower Manhattan to the general public, shifts its focus this year from discovering hidden places to the investigation of what is to come Downtown. As Lower Manhattan moves from recovery to growth and sustainability, LMCC will provide access to the ideas and people who are actively re-shaping Lower Manhattan, including architects, designers, academics, artists, and cultural leaders in the conversation.
This series is supported by grants from:
The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation

Convicted sex offender Horace Drewry, 56, is accused of breaking the law again by taking an unauthorized leave from a Bexar County jail work release program.
Drewry was arrested in connection with the violation Wednesday.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated that Drewry had served seven years in prison in Georgia for a 1994 case of indecency with a child that happened there.
According to the affidavit, he became involved in a program in Bexar County in September of this year, as part of his probation.

Borough officials in West Chester voted unanimously Wednesday night to approve quiet zones in residential areas around West Chester University.
FOX 29's Chris O'Connell reported Tuesday on the FOX 29 News at 10 p.m. that new street signs warning residents about noise restrictions from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. would soon be installed along nearly 60 West Chester streets.
Borough council member Jordan Norley tells FOX 29 the vote passed 7-0.
Those behind the proposal tell FOX 29 the idea was in response to a record number of noise and disorderly conduct citations written last year.
Officials say the problem isn't with the area bars themselves, rather when patrons leave those bars at closing time and filter through the streets.
One resident says she can hear patrons yelling and cursing at each other.
Now that the quiet zones were approved, signs are scheduled to be installed over the next couple of months.

Devils Lake community hosts 14K to remember 14 North Dakota soldiersThe Devils Lake community is raising money and banding together to remember the 14 North Dakota soldiers who died while serving in the War on Terrorism.
The Devils Lake community is raising money and banding together to remember the 14 North Dakota soldiers who died while serving in the War on Terrorism.
It's a 14K walk this year. One for each North Dakota National Guard soldier killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jeff Barta- Walking for Fallen Soldiers: "They were taken in the prime of their life and it's an honor to be able to honor them."
Along the way, walkers are greeted with cheers from all ages.
Jeff Wollschlaeger- Supporter: "We're ringing the cowbell at about a halfway point. Just to give the walkers and runners a little motivation."
And to go with the cheers, some much needed drinks are tossed out.
Bryce Crosby- Supporter: "We decided we're going to help out by providing water and towels for the participants that are coming through on the race."
The outpouring of support is appreciated.
Barta: "That's a big morale booster right there. you see the little kids out there and they're excited about you coming across."
14 kilometers later and the walk is finished here at Camp Grafton. Each participant is greeted with a wave of support and they all get one of these dog tags to remember the day by.
As the walk winds down, the reason behind it remains.
Barta: "It's like the back of our shirts say, never forget our fallen heroes."
What did it feel like when you were walking or running by and you would see each picture?
Barta: "That's tough to get through there. To be able to touch each one of those soldiers. I know about half of them personally. So you would see that picture. First time I've ever done this, even choking me up now."
All proceeds from the event go to the state's Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, which helps families who've lost a military member.

War, of course! We exported something like $152 billion last year in Iraq alone, not to mention the cost in human lives. [snark] That figure includes the $150.5 billion paid to Halliburton, so that may disqualify it as an "export". [/snark]Originally posted by nameless cipher:
So what is our number one export in terms of $?

Is Florida's child protection system safer than it was a year ago?Wednesday, February 15th, 2012
In an article in The Post's Opinion Section on February 10th, Florida Department of Children and Families Secretary David Wilkins talked about how the death on Valentine's Day 2011 of Nubia Barahona had shaken up his agency and forced it to change for the better:
"This death highlighted numerous issues in our child welfare system," he wrote, "that needed to be addressed in order to drastically improve the overall child protection program. Gov. Scott and I pledged to deliver a plan that would address these issues quickly and thoroughly, with an appropriate redesign of the investigative process.
"Over the past year," Secretary Wilkins continued, "we have implemented recommendations developed by an independent task force and a Miami-Dade County grand jury. We also have prepared a legislative package to establish a front-end capability for the child protection investigation function that we believe will be a national standard."
You can read Secretary Wilkins' full commentary here.
In a February 15th rebuttal in the same space, Richard Wexler, executive director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, challenged Mr. Wilkins' view:
"At the end of his commentary last week bragging about all he has done in response to the death of Nubia Barahona, allegedly killed by her foster/adoptive father, Florida Department of Children and Families Secretary David Wilkins invites readers to go to the DCF website and read a longer version, his 'Child Welfare Transformation Project.'
"What readers will find there," Mr. Wexler wrote, "is the same message Mr. Wilkins has been sending since the Barahona case made headlines a year ago, a message that amounts to: Everything here stank until I walked in the door, but now I, David Wilkins, will save the day."
You can read Mr. Wexler's full commentary here.
Palm Beach Post reporters Ana M. Valdes and John Lantigua also have put together a piece that discusses changes at DCF in the past year. You can read that story here.

Like it is smaller than original toy so people can hold it in one hand. Hard to see/read the answer sometimes.
Overall I like the product a lot.
give away at trade show potential customers very pleased with gift and brings back good memories
The printing/graphics is more legible than I would have imagined. It's a very cute and fun giveaway.
My rep was helpful and the order was turned around in a timely fashion. Overall, I was very happy with the experience.
The imprinted area on the magic answer ball was faded out / lightly imprinted. This was my second order of these items and they did not match the quality of the first order
I thought it was really good quality for the price. We thought it would have been fun to have our company's name as "the answer" but that didn't affect our opinion of the quality or cost.
